Photograph: Simon Hill05Fairphone 5, main camera. I like this shot of Luna and it captures her luxurious coat, but because she is backlit the darker part of her face is lost.
Photograph: Simon Hill06Fairphone 5, main camera. Plenty of detail here but the clouds are fuzzy and the colors are drab.
Photograph: Simon Hill07Fairphone 5, main camera. The camera slightly over brightens this scene, with mixed light shining through the leaves, but it’s still a decent photo.
Photograph: Simon Hill08Fairphone 5, main camera. The main camera struggles to focus for close ups.

Photograph: Simon Hill11Fairphone 5, main camera. I like this main camera shot and it comes close to capturing what it really looked like.
Photograph: Simon Hill12Fairphone 5, ultrawide camera. The same shot with the ultrawide feels washed out and you can see the noise in the water and distortion at the edges.

Photograph: Simon Hill14Fairphone 5, ultrawide camera. The contrast with the previous shot is striking here.
